10,000 false posts a day

Between the 2020 presidential election and the insurrection, Facebook allowed at least 10,000 daily posts with false information about the election. Posts that called for executions or violence against political officials, and images that showed gallows were spread far and wide across the most po…

I'm still seeking accountability for Donald Trump

It has been more than a year since Trump was impeached for a second time, but he has yet to face any legal consequences for the violence he inspired. Instead, he is free to dine with despots at Mar-a-Lago and play golf whenever he pleases. Team — This was the cover of the New York…

Republicans aren’t happy with us
